Eight Kentucky players have been invited to this year's NFL scouting combine.

Edge rusher Josh Allen, cornerback Derrick Baity, tight end C.J. Conrad, safety Mike Edwards, cornerback Lonnie Johnson, linebacker Jordan Jones, running back Benny Snell and safety Darius West are set to work out at the combine, which will be held Feb. 26 through March 4 in Indianapolis.

Allen is being considered among the top picks in the first round. He will be the first of what could be a historic number of Kentucky players selected in this year's draft.
